  • I have been with idrive since 2009. At the time they were the only ones that allowed backups of network attached storage on their cheaper personal plans. Everyone else saw that as an “enterprise” feature which required a business plan. Which was bullsh*t, because lots of home NAS devices were being sold.

    Anyway, I haven’t done a recent comparison of services, but I remain happy with idrive.

    Thesedays I no longer backup on a computer with a mapped drive, but directly from my NAS which runs the idrive software.

    I had a catastrophic dual drive failure a few years ago, one failed and another failed during the raid rebuild! I was able to restore about 1tb of data and didn’t lose anything important.

    They also offer backup and restore by shipping a drive to you if you want to avoid the huge initial backup or a total restore, but I haven’t used that feature.

    They do also have a mobile app, but last time I tried it, it wasn’t great.

    On desktop it’s mainly Firefox, on mobile it’s mainly the stock Samsung browser.

    But I’ve started using Edge a bit more on mobile lately since I discovered its reading mode, which makes for a very clean readable format to read articles.





  • OK, so I’ve known a number of Scottish people and I’ve been there a couple of times and generally had no issue understanding them.

    However, when working in London years ago, I had to talk to someone based in Scotland on the phone and her accent was just insane.

    Honestly it was exactly like this post, she’d say something, I’d say sorry what and this repeated 3 times then…we both burst out laughing. The most insane Scottish accent ever!
